1. أَبا غانِمٍ فيمَ اِحتِشامُكَ عِندَنا

    وَكِتمانُكَ الداءَ الَّذي أَنتَ صاحِبُه

    Abu Ghanim, why are you bashful with us,

    and why conceal the ailment you bear?

  2. فَلَستَ مَلوماً أَن تُناكَ لِلَذَّةٍ

    يُناكُ لَها قاضي القُضاةِ وَكاتِبُه

    For you are not to blame for being fucked for pleasure,

    for which the chief justice and his scribe are fucked.

  3. يَكادُ اضطِرابُ الشَوقِ أَن يَستَخِفَّهُ

    إِذا مَرَّ مُختالاً سَلامَةُ حاجِبُه

    The turmoil of longing almost carries him away

    when Salama, his chamberlain, struts past.

  4. لَهُ هَيبَةٌ في مَجلِسِ الحُكمِ تُتَّقى

    وَقَد باتَ مُلقىً وَالأُيورُ تُلاعِبُه

    He has a presence to be feared in the court of judgment,

    yet he has spent the night sprawled out, with cocks toying with him.

  5. إِذا غُلفَةُ الفَرّاشِ شَكَّت عِجانُه

    بَكَينا لِذُلِّ الدينِ وَالكُفرُ راكِبُه

    When the bed attendant's foreskin pierces his perineum,

    we weep for the abasement of the faith, while unbelief rides him.
